Carbon Literacy Course – free to Peterborough businesses
November 13, 2024
Peterborough City Council are now providing a free Carbon Literacy Course available for businesses. The course will be free to attend due to receiving grant funding through the Shared Prosperity Fund. The course would usually retail at £100+ per person.
Overall, it is 8 hours (or one days’ worth) of learning but sessions will be broken up into 2, 4 or 8 hour sessions, online or in-person, to be flexible around your schedules. Once the course is completed, trainees can gain a recognised Carbon Literacy accreditation.
The course will provide information about climate change and its impacts, actions you can take to decarbonise and the benefits of doing so, resource scarcity, supply chain disruption and management, opportunities for SMEs, Scope 3 emissions, ecosystem services and many other topics. Please find attached a flyer with more information about the course.
